Overall, in 2022, we will continue to make efforts to deepen reform and lay a solid foundation for development, and make substantial progress in green, low-carbon and high-quality development. We will take the three-year reform of state-owned enterprises as an opportunity to comprehensively deepen reform and improve the quality of development. In 2022, the national investment in fixed assets increased by 5.1%, but the investment in real estate development decreased by 10.0%, and the decline in the western region reached 17.6%. Our traditional business also decreased in scale, but benefited from a series of reform measures we adopted, and achieved a steady increase in quality. On the one hand, the operation has achieved remarkable results. In 2022, the value of new contracts signed by us reached a record high, and we obtained and began to supply a number of large projects including Yongjin Expressway, and the market share of the regional market, especially the key regional market, steadily increased. Taking Kunming as an example, according to the data of Kunming Bulk Cement Commodity Concrete Association, the output of ready-mixed concrete (mortar) in Kunming in 2022 decreased by nearly 60% compared with 2021, while our output of ready-mixed concrete in Kunming remained the same as last year, and the market share increased to more than 15%. On the other hand, the management has achieved remarkable results. In 2022, we set up a centralized procurement platform, carried out supply chain finance, implemented centralized bidding and procurement of the company's main materials, focused on cost reduction and efficiency enhancement, and implemented a series of cost control measures, including quota management of five major costs (raw material costs, transportation costs, labor costs, manufacturing costs, management costs) and the responsibility system of the head of the mixing station. Despite various adverse factors, the operating income in 2022 decreased by about 20% compared with 2021, but the total profit increased by more than 140% compared with the previous year, and the return on equity and cash ratio of revenue increased significantly.
